In response to your opinion, you have point that violence has a ripple effect, but I think DA's, clemency boards, and prosecutors are like robots, so very heartless. This woman clearly turned her life around and given it to God. You would of thought her lawyer was the one on deathrow, she had to keep him focused. This woman was truly at peace with God. God is the only one who can judge us. You dont kill a person because I person killed someone else. Life in prison would have been enough. Her lovers mother had clearly forgiven her. The black man on the clemency board looked as if he was out partying the night before with all of his yawning. Seems to me they already had it planned not to give her clemency. Our system is jacked up. Maybe if some of these DA's and prosecuters, put more into finding the true facts of a case, our prison sysytem wouldn't be so crowded. Wanda Jean deserved to live regardless of her crime.

Losing someone you love violently has a ripple effect. It changes the life of everyone that loved that person. Jean was a violent woman. I watched the documentary and felt compassion for her, but the fact still remains she was a violent, repeat killer. Her low IQ notwithstanding, she knew what she was doing and she did it with premediatation and she probably would do it again. She broke the law, a crime punishable by death, she had no real defense. She paid the piper. It's so so tragic.Murder is also tragic and that tragedy ripples, violence ripples.
